An introduction to quantum computing, its applications, and potential impact. 1.  What is Quantum Computing? Traditional computers use bits as the smallest unit of data, represented as either a 0 or a 1. Quantum computers, however, use quantum bits, or qubits , which can exist in a state of 0, 1, or both simultaneously due to a principle called superposition . This unique property allows quantum computers to perform many calculations at once, making them potentially faster than classical computers for specific tasks. 2. Key Principles of Quantum Computing Superposition: Qubits can be in multiple states simultaneously, enabling quantum computers to handle vast amounts of data and solve complex problems. Entanglement: When qubits become entangled, the state of one qubit instantly influences the state of another, regardless of the distance between them. This enables highly efficient data processing. Interference: Quantum computers leverage interference to amplify correct answers an...
